Iodine, earth, dirt, tannic. A big wine will easily hold up to steak or game. Orange peel, touch dark ripe cherries, spices (touch cinnamon), black tea leaves. Full of character and terroir driven. From South Africa. Decomposed Granite and volcanic rock. 13.5%. — 5 months ago
Fall is here and it’s the season I love to drink port. Dow, producing Ports for over 2 centuries. One of the first to establish its own vineyards, acquiring Senhora da Ribeira, in the remote Upper Douro, in 1890 & Bomfim, in the heart of Alto Douro, in 1896. Aromas of ripe fruits, fragrant spices and sweet notes. On the palate flavors of candied apple and jammy blackberries with cacao and honey. Firm dusty tannins, good balance, long finish. Perfect now. Tasting Sample. — 3 years ago
Great balance of earthy and fruit tones, heavy berry aromas on the nose, crisp taste and solid finish. 2022 vintage is excellent, opened up nicely after 30-45 minutes. — a month ago

v19. Very good! Soft, dusty, candied black cherry nose. Luscious, deep, rich, black cherry fruit. Long, bright, slightly tart, chocolate cherry finish. Enjoyable!! — 6 months ago
Probably still a little young, but otherwise a really great bottle. Dark transparent ruby, with a woody-er edge to it. Some cherry pie, herbs, baking spices and tar aromas. Strong structure, making it feel young. Pretty large body for an Oregon Pinot! Going to age well for awhile. — 2 months ago
Perfect buttery but balanced Chardonnay. Just everything there should be in a top quality Chardonnay. — 8 months ago
